Document the post: You may need a record of the post if you decide to take further action. We recommend that you take a screenshot of the post for reporting purposes.

Report the post: You can anonymously report photos that go against Instagram’s Community Guidelines. If someone is threatening to share things you want to keep private (ex: messages, photos, videos), asking you to send money or asking to you to do something else you’re uncomfortable with, please report their profile to us. If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can report things using this form. After reporting a post, specially trained representatives from our Community Operations team will then review the image and remove it if it goes against our Community Guidelines. We then use photo-matching technology to help stop future attempts to share the image on Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.
